For a game that supposedly doesn't have an attraction system, it seems funny how they can gravitate to each other for both romance and friendship. I had a sim that met Nalani in Sulani, and every time he went there, he found her. They became involved very quickly. One of my Sims had an NPC that was literally stalking them everywhere. In my current playthrough, Morgyn seems to be developing a "best friends" relationship with, of all people, Guidry. They just seem to like to hang out together.
And Mary Elizabeth is definitely a cutie.
